HAND-TOOL FOR EXTRACTING RIVETS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Get. 12, 1909.

Application filed September 22, 1908. Serial No. 54,200

To all whom 'it may concern: l

Be it known that we, HENRY N Seafarers and CHARLES M. COOPER, citizens of the lUnited States, residing at Erick,- in theI county of Beckham and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new uid useful lmprovements in4 Hand-Tools for Extract-ing Rivets, of which the following is a. specification.

The present invention comprehends certain new and useful improvements in hand j tools for extracting rivets, or the like, and the invention has for its object an improved device of this character which is practically designed for removing broken rivets from the sockets of the bows of vehicle tops;

which mav beexpeditiously handled and operated cy one person; and which emt bodies a novel arrangement of parts, wherej by it is rendered particularly ctlicient and also quite simple and durable.

With this and other objects in view that will more fully appear as the description j proceeds, the invention consists in certain constructions and arrangements of the parts that we shall hereinafter fully describe and then point out the novel features of in the appended claim.

For a full understanding of the invent-ion and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction, l reference is to be had to the following de j scription and accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure l is a perspective view of a tool constructed in `accordance with our invention; Fig. 2 is a side view thereof, parts being shown in section; and, Fig. 3 is an end view with the supporting arm for the punch in section.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawing by the same reference characters.

ur improved tool consists essentially of j a handle bar or stock l which is preferably cast or otherwise suitably formed of metal l and which is relatively long and substan# j tially straight, so as to be susceptible of,A being firmly grasped in the hand of a Workman. At one end the handle bar is formed l with a lateral enlargement l1, the outer end face of which is flat and constitutes an anvil. The enlargement has two adjacent openings 6 of diderent sizes that extend entreli like fastening means.

therethrough at points beyond and in close proximity to the bar l. llach of these openings is parallel to the axis of the handle bar and is substantially straight and of uniform diameter throughout its length, whereby toadmit of rivets being driven freely through the openings and Yejected therefrom, without the danger of becoming lodged therein. This arrangement is also advantageousin that the enlargement may be easily and cheaply cast with the openings therein.

A pivot post 9 is seated in afsocket in the enlargement on the opposite side of the axis of the handle bar from the adjacent openings o, and is retained therein by a pin or The pivot post is disposed. longitudinally and projects beyond the anvil to constitute a journal on which one end of a supporting arm 8 is rotatably mounted, the arm being retained on the post. by a removable pin or the like. The arm is extended longitudinally outwardly with its free end spaced apart from the' anvil and formed with an aperture in which a longitudinal drift punch 7 is slidably mounted. rlhe punch is normally held in retracted position by a coil spring 1G and is adapted to be brought into longitudinal alinement with either selected one of the openings 6 by turning the arm 8 about the pivot post. The outer 'end of the punch is headed, as shown, to receive blows from a hammer.

'In the practical use of the tool, the anvil is placed against ,the buggy bow, so that the required opening 6 registers with the rivet to be extracted. The arm S is then turned so as to bring the drift punch in alinement with the rivet, whereupon blows are delivered upon the head of the punch to project the same longitudinally toward the anvil and drive the rivet out ofthe bow socket and into the said opening 6, the continued movement of the punch positively ejecting the rivet from the opening without the liability of the former becoming lodged in the latter, rlhe ejected rivet passes through the enlargement ll beyond and in close proximity to the handle b ar, and attention 1s particularly di* rected to the fact that the peripheral walls of the handle bar diverge away from the enlargement, as best seen in Fig. 2, so as to serve, when the tool is held in an upright positjilon, to deflect the ejected rivet outyvnilf V,

periphery of the'handlo nection with the accompanying drawing it l posite end o'l the handle bar with a device ii'iliiieuce of a coil si'iriiiq 5.

IWill be apparent that We have provided an l improved lrivet extracting device which is particularly eiicient in operation; which g may be easily and cheaply manufactured and t is not likely to getout of order; and which embodies` to a marked degree the characteristics of simplicity, durability and strength. Furthermore, it is te be noted that by connecting the supporting arm to the anvil on 2 the opposiiteside of the axis of the handle bar from the adjacent openings7 the strain incident to theoperation oi?v the tool is more el'liectually distributed7 thereby increasing the .liie of the tool. i

For coi'ivenience ive have equipped the op- I for heading rivets. 'For this purpose the said end of the handlebar is preferably enlareed, as shown, and is formed in its outer l face 'with a 'depression 2, and also with an arm 3, the arm being extended longitudinally with its outer end turned laterally. A set punch et is slidably mounted in the outer end oit' the arm in longitudinal aliiieinent with the depression 2 for coperation therei with, the set iiiinch being' movable under the Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is:

The herein described hand tool 'lfor ex tracting rivets, comprising a substantially straight handle bar formed at one end 'with a lateral enlargement having ay 'flat terminal face constitutingan anvil, saidenlargementl beinggl 'formed with adyacent straight open- 1 ings ott diil'ereut diameters extending longitudinally entirely therethrough at points be youd the periiihery of the handle bar, an arm pivotally connected at one end to Elie anvil en the opposite side of the axis ol' the iainlle bar -from said openings and :tree te turn l about an axis inarallel to the' latter and centered' with r aspect thereto, the free end of the arm being` extended outwardly in spaced relation to the anvil and being movable .into

longitudinal alineinent with either selected g one of the openings, -and a longitudinally disposed dri'l't punch slidably mounted in the free end oi the arm. i

ln testimony whereof we allix our signal tures in presence oi' tivo witnesses.
